Macintosh
Users
The majority of the files on the website are HTML files. Great care was taken in trying to insure that these files
would work on both PCs and Macs. However, many of the non-HTML files on the website (i.e., all of the
Interactive Computer Modules) are Windows-based programs, for
which there are (unfortunately) no Macintosh equivalents. You may still use these files if you have a PC emulator
program on your Mac, such as Virtual PC.
ICMs
Some users have experienced problems trying to run the Interactive Computer Modules
directly on the website. If you have trouble running the Interactive Computer
Modules from the website, then try installing them on your hard drive.
